Next board
01
Every play on PREVO counts, from anywhere on the platform. Only the last seven days are measured, so nothing carries over and no film can coast on an old week.
02
The comment box under every film. Notes count as heavily as plays, and we pass the best of them straight to the filmmaker. Talking about a film moves it as much as watching it.
03
The board closes Sunday at 11:59 PM CT and the new ten go up at the start of the week, exactly as the week ranked it. No editorial thumb on the scale.
Watch a film on PREVO and leave a Note underneath. Both count toward next week's board.
Every film that charts scores points. No. 1 scores 10, No. 10 scores 1. The film with the most points at the end of the month is named the Audience Pick.
September is the first scored month. Four boards: September 7, 14, 21 and 28. Everyone starts at zero.
You don't have to win a week to win the month.
Every film that has charted in September, and what it has scored so far – three of the four September boards have counted. A film keeps its points whether or not it charts again.
1 board leftThere are 10 points still to be won, and two of these films can still catch Projectionist. If two films finish level on points, the one that placed higher on the final board of the month wins.
Watch what you want, say what you thought, and the board takes care of itself.
